‘Mentiras’ celebrates 17 years and plans to expand its universe

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons once again challenged conventions. At Milan Fashion Week they presented a collection that takes jeans as a starting point, but transforms them into leather and technical fabrics. The goal: create a uniform for the street, not just the fashion aisles.

“Sometimes you just realize that you need a good pomodoro pasta,” Simons said before the show, referring to that Italian food staple.

The collection

Fitted and short jackets, five-pocket pants, timeless blazers and leather blouson jackets. That’s Prada’s new uniform for next spring and summer. Although the inspiration was denim, the designer confessed that she has never worn a pair in her life. Simons, for his part, acknowledged that he only recently returned to that classic after two decades of wearing wool pants year-round.

Most looks were realized in luxurious, soft leather, in monochromes of antique white, grey, burgundy or turquoise. To the rhythm of rock guitar riffs, some outfits appeared in an almost transparent white technical fabric, ideal for the recent heat wave in Europe. Only a few final looks used authentic denim.

Universal pieces, according to Prada, which sought to avoid the “useless design” that, it said, is “a lot of what’s there” on other runways. Simons explained that they wanted to reconnect fashion with the way people actually dress: “Some of the strongest ideas came from the street, not from luxury brands.”

Luxury guests included Anthony Edwards, Troye Sivan, the group ENHYPEN and Louis Partridge. Throngs of fans endured the heat to see them. The collection, with a lot of white, is committed to peace and hope, breaking the perception of typical luxury in high fashion.

Gloria Trevi turned the National Auditorium into a space for celebration and remembrance. The artist offered a concert that paid tribute to Jenni Rivera, one of the most emblematic figures of regional Mexican music.

He entered the stage amidst smoke and guitar chords, with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his chest. He started with “Old Shoes” and immediately his 10 thousand followers stood up. The euphoria was constant: his every gesture provoked applause and shouts.

Moments of emotion

When songs like “The potato without ketchup” began, Trevi removed the religious image out of respect. Then came “Try it to me”, “Dressed in sugar” and “I laugh at you”, where she showed her most uninhibited side.

The climax came when he introduced Jacqie Rivera, daughter of his friend Jenni. Together they performed “A hug.” Jacqie could barely sing from the emotion; Trevi hugged her and gave her a second voice while images of the Diva de la Banda with her family were projected on screens.

“I want to thank you for opening this place to me, I really did feel my mother’s presence. Thank you very much for keeping the memory of that woman alive, of our mother. She always said that the love of the stage, of her audience, was not compared to anything else,” said Jacqie, accompanied by her sisters Chiquis and Jenicka.

National pride and vibrant closure

With mariachi, Trevi performed “That female is bad” and “Let them suffer with what I enjoy.” He shouted “Long live Mexico, bastards!” and he put on the charro hat to sing “La ley del monte”, “El ingrato” and, through a video, “Porqué me haces cry” with Juan Gabriel. He invited Omar Chaparro to “Go back, go back.”

The finale came with “You Didn’t Want to Hurt Me” and “Loose Hair.” The stage was filled with fans. After a brief darkness, the attendees’ crowns of light illuminated the room. The audience asked for more and Trevi responded with “How I Love You”, “Everyone Looks at Me”, “Dr. Psychiatrist” and “Tomorrow”.

New stage, new image

Content creator Karely Ruiz announced that she underwent cosmetic surgery on her breasts, as part of a personal renewal process. The Monterrey woman explained that the decision responds to a wish she had for a long time and also seeks to silence the criticism she received for her appearance.

“It’s not just a physical change, it’s a way to say goodbye to a stage and welcome a new version of me,” he said in a video posted on his social networks.

Ruiz, known for her work on platforms such as OnlyFans, shared the message along with images of the procedure. In the publication he also addressed his detractors with humor:

“Goodbye to the criticism that they were down to the ground hahaha, do you want to see the result?” he wrote.

The influencer reiterated that this aesthetic change was something she longed for. “You know how much I wanted this change,” he said, accompanying his words with emojis.

With this intervention, Ruiz closes one chapter and opens another, both personally and professionally. The decision, in his own words, goes beyond the physical and represents an internal transformation.
